The prohibition cause is rapidly
spreading all over the state. East
Tennessee will come up to the notch

As brass signs tarnish over night and are as numerous as wooden ones once were here, should not be astonished if my visitor died millionaire.
 Speaking of brass signs, how completely the door plate has gone out of fashion. When l came to New York to work for @ living door plate was as essential an in signia of gentility as bank account, and shops where they were sold were to be found everywhere. On the residence streets of the better class at certain hour every morning you would see ser want on every stoop polishing the plate up before its owner had his breakfast. The door plate was with us what the marble front step is to the Philadelphian. Phila- delphias front steps are there yet. Our door plates have become things of the past, found only on old fashioned houses without pretensions to style. Their places have probably been taken by the coats of arms which fashionable New York now pays @ clever Frenchman to in vent or borrow for it.-Alfred Tumble in New York News.
